in CS6 Alternate layouts Liquid layouts Linked content Digital publishing EPUB and HTML5 Interactivity Productivity enhancements Language support Extension Manager CS6 Use InDesign to create and publish engaging documents for print, online, or tablet devices. This release contains several enhancements and new features that provide you with pixel-perfect control over design and typography for publishing to all media. With Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, you can design and publish for tablet devices using the familiar InDesign workflows. Alternate layouts and Liquid Layout page rules, give you the flexibility to design for multiple page sizes, orientations, or aspect ratios. To the top Alternate layouts Use Alternate Layouts if you require different page sizes for print or digital publishing within the same document. You can use it to create different sizes of a print advertisement. Or to design the horizontal and vertical layouts for devices such as the Apple iPad or Android tablets. Alternate layouts and the updated Pages panel Used in combination with Liquid Layout, you can significantly reduce the amount of manual work required to re-layout content for every new page size and orientation. You can also redefine liquid page rules, create links to original stories, automatically copy text styles to a new style group, and activate Smart Text Reflow to repaginate the story in the new page size. To create an alternate layout, do one of the following: Choose Layout > Create Alternate Layout Choose Create Alternate Layout from the Pages panel menu See also Alternate layouts (video) To the top Liquid layouts 2 Liquid Layout Liquid layouts make it easier to design content for multiple page sizes, orientations, or devices. Apply liquid page rules to determine how objects on a page are adapted when you create an alternate layout and change the size, orientation, or aspect ratio. Use Liquid page rules to adapt layouts when using the Alternate Layout feature. Select the Page tool and click a page to select it. Then choose a liquid page rule from the control bar. You can also use the Liquid Layouts panel (Window > Interactive > Liquid Layout). Using the Page tool, you can drag the corners and center points of the page to preview the Liquid layout. For more information see Alternate layouts (Article). To the top Linked content Use linked content functionality to duplicate page items, and place them on other pages. Both inter-document and intra-document links are supported. You can place and link stories, text frames, page items, interactive objects as well as groups. You can link content, with or without the frames that they are contained in. You can customize the link options to control the update aspects. While links are useful for all types of publications, they are almost essential when you're working on multi-device publications. Alternate Layouts also use this functionality to link stories in the generated layouts. To place and link page items, you can use the following: Place and Link command (Edit > Place and Link) Content Collector and Content Placer tools For more information see Linked content. For a quick overview, see Linked content video by Lynda.com. Content collector and placer tools Content Collector and Placer tools let you duplicate objects and place them on open InDesign documents. As content is collected, it is displayed in the Content Conveyor. Use Content Conveyor to easily and quickly place and link multiple page items within and across any open documents. Click in the toolbox to open the Content Conveyor. Use Content Collector tool to select an item and add it to the conveyor Use Content Placer to place page items on a page Content Conveyor See also Content Placer tools (video) Custom style mapping Text styles (paragraph, character, table, cell) or style groups can be mapped to different styles while linking. In the Link Options dialog box (Links panel > Link Options), enable Define Custom Style Mapping and then click Settings. Custom style mapping comes in handy, for example, when you want to use sans serif fonts for digital and serif fonts for print publications. Or if you want, vary the text style between the horizontal and vertical layouts. In the Link Options dialog box, enable Define Custom Style Mapping and then click Settings. 3 For more information, see Content Placer tools (Article). Preserve local edits Use Preserve Local Edits option to modify linked content. Often, you would like the linked item to differ slightly from the original item. For example, if you place an image and then resize the frame or add a stroke to the frame, you can preserve these changes on updating the link. In the Link Options dialog box (Links panel menu), select the options under preserve local edits. For more information, see Custom style mapping. To the top Digital publishing New document presets In addition to the Web and Print intents, you can specify Digital Publishing intent while creating a document (File > New). You can specify sizes (including custom sizes) and orientations for several common devices. When you choose the Digital Publishing intent, page size is set to that of the chosen device size in pixels. The Primary Text Frame option is also enabled. If you want more control on device size and orientation, create a Document Preset or specify a custom page size. Primary text frame You can now designate a text frame on the master page as the primary text frame. When you apply a new master page to a layout page, the story in the primary text frame flows into the primary text frame. Primary Text Frames are automatically overridden on layout pages, so that you no longer need to override them before adding text. Primary text frame indicator To designate a primary text frame, open a master page and do one of the following: Click the symbol near the left-upper corner of the text frame Right-click on text frame and choose Primary Text Frame Note: Only a single text frame can be designated as primary on a master page. Text frame fitting options Flexible width columns You can use the Flexible width option to adjust the number and width of columns as the text frame is resized. Columns are automatically added or deleted when the maximum column width is reached as the text frame is resized. Choose Flexible Width from the Columns drop down list in the Text Frame Options dialog box (Object > Text Frame Options) Persistent text frame fitting options Auto-size text frame options make it possible to set up a text frame so that it is automatically resized when you add, delete, or edit text. To access the Auto-size options, do the following: 4 1. Select a text frame and choose Object > Text Frame Options 2. Click Auto-size. Auto Size options Packaging and preflight The Package functionality (File > Package) now includes Digital Publishing Suite assets in Folio Overlays. If you've placed links from other InDesign documents, they are included as well. Additional preflight profile for Digital Publishing is also available (Window > Output > Preflight). Discoverable Folio Builder and Folio Overlay panels The Folio Builder and Folio Overlay panels are located under the Window menu. Folio Builder: Choose Window > Folio Builder Folio Overlay: Choose Window > Folio Overlay Note: In InDesign CS5.5, Folio Overlay panel was called Overlay Creator, and these panels were available under the Windows > Extensions menu. Digital publishing workspace Use the Digital Publishing workspace to display all the tools and panels required for working on digital publications. Select Digital Publishing workspace from the workspace switcher in the Application bar. To the top EPUB and HTML5 EPUB Export workflows have been simplified, and you can now choose an EPUB version to export to. The Export to EPUB dialog box has been reorganized and simplified. Watch this video by Lynda.com for a quick overview of how to Export to EPUB. EPUB2 enhancements Several enhancements were made in the EPUB2 export in InDesign CS6, to provide better control and efficiencies while export. EPUB2 remains the most dominant EPUB standard with a majority of devices and readers supporting it. Specify options to float a frame either left or right. These options can be specified using the Object Export Options. Additional inline and anchored text frame attributes are translated to the CSS: Size, border style and width, fill color, padding (inset on text frame), and margin (on text wrap) Specify different values for each margins in an EPUB Link to multiple custom CSS files Split an EPUB into smaller files based on export tags specified in paragraph styles. New XHTML document is created when you link to an external eBook cover file Support for converting InDesign table cell styles to CSS in the exported EPUB EPUB table dimension includes attributes for column width and row minimum height InDesign custom bullet and numbering marker strings now exported in EPUB 5
